Los Angeles-based producer KUREI has always had a knack for blending melodic UKG and sassy 140 with her own specific production style. Add Luhv‘s love for soulful house, ethereal trap, and experimenting with every other genre under the sun, and you’ll get a track like their latest collaboration ‘Know Me’, that really packs a punch.
‘Know Me’ fuses new garage vibes with hard-hitting bass and is incredibly infectious. The lyrics are intimate and have a sense of longing, which feels more intense thanks to the strong movement within the production. Delicate pads and wistful melodies intertwine, while thunderous bass lines and energetic percussion offset the sombre vocals with a club-friendly vibe, that delivers a powerful juxtaposition whilst still staying true to the track’s original intention.
“Personally for me my goal with my music lately has been finding this balance between creating emotional and ethereal soundscapes matched with upbeat danceability. If a song can make me cry and shake my ass all in the same 3 minutes, it’s a perfect song to me.” – KUREI
“This song was the seed of inspiration that flowered into a fresh sound combining melodic storytelling along with danceable grooves and heavy sound design. I’m excited to share more of this style not only within our collabs but also in my solo tracks coming up in the future.” – Luhv
